Does anyone know why the non-security update for Outlook 2010 (KB4022144) is listed by Windows Update as “Critical”?   The MS KB article provides only the following description:

This update fixes the following issue: When you attempt to render web pages through the Outlook folder pane by using the Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Microsoft Outlook add-in (Outlook client), the view pane remains blank and “Waiting for a page to be retrieved from a CRM server…” displays. The pane never loads the corresponding web page

I can see where this could certainly be an inconvenience for some users, and for them it would be appropriate to call the update that fixes it “Important”.   But calling it “Critical”?  Isn’t that classification reserved for updates that fix security vulnerabilities?  Or possibly for updates that keep systems from crashing?

How is this update “Critical”?  Am I missing something here?  Has there been any assessment of these non-security Office updates yet from Susan (“Patch Lady”)?
